“#Why saving NYC’s bars and restaurants is vital for the whole state<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Half of Gotham\u2019s bars and restaurants could close for good within six months \u2014 taking more than 150,000 jobs with them \u2014 state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli warned this week. That means big trouble for the whole state.<\/p>\n

At the pandemic\u2019s height, city bar and restaurant tax receipts<\/a> fell 71 percent; nearly three-quarters of the industry\u2019s 315,000 or so workers were unemployed. By August, employment was still only 55 percent of pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n

These New Yorkers accounted for about one in 12 private-sector jobs, pre-lockdown. Industry job growth was 61 percent over the last decade, double the overall growth rate.<\/p>\n

Wake up, Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo: The industry accounted for $27 billion in taxable sales last year \u2014 15 percent of the state total. So if the restaurant industry goes, so do the city\u2019s and state\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n

Outdoor dining is no solution: As DiNapoli noted, only 44 percent of restaurants have used outdoor seating \u2014 even in the warm months. Indoor dining at a pathetic 25 percent capacity won\u2019t do enough more.<\/p>\n

Cuomo\u2019s \u201cyou can\u2019t drink unless you eat\u201d dictates and arbitrary enforcement are a huge drag on these establishments. And de Blasio\u2019s humblebrag that he won\u2019t eat inside any Gotham establishment only twists the knife.<\/p>\n

Bars and restaurants can\u2019t survive at 25 percent. They still have to pay their full electricity bills and rent \u2014 and 87 percent of them couldn\u2019t make August rent.<\/p>\n

Bars and restaurants are the city\u2019s lifeblood. Cuomo and de Blasio must allow them to open further so their employees can make a living. The health of the state\u2019s economy depends on\n <\/p><\/div>\n
